Daniel Wheeler, a tag-team champion in All Elite Wrestling, was arrested Friday morning by the Orlando Police Department and charged with one count of aggravated assault with a firearm. He was booked in Circuit Court, according to county records.

Wheeler, 36, better known in wrestling circles as Cash Wheeler, is a member of the tag team FTR with Dax Harwood. They hold the AEW tag-team championship.

AEW issued a statement to the Sentinel, which reads: “AEW has been made aware of the charge, and we are closely monitoring the situation. (Wheeler) is fully cooperating with local authorities.”

AEW is generally considered the No. 2 wrestling promotion in the U.S. behind WWE; Wheeler is scheduled to wrestle Aug. 27 in London on a show expected to draw 80,000 fans.

Wheeler is an 18-year veteran wrestler who spent six years in the WWE system, including time in Orlando-based NXT, before joining AEW in 2020.

Seems bad if you are supposed to be going to England next week for work...

Lock Jaw 08-18-2023 01:18 PM

Which one is Cash Wheeler? Scott Dawson or Dash Wilder?

Lock Jaw 08-18-2023 01:19 PM

"Wilder" is close to "Wheeler".... but on the other hand "Dash" is close to "Dax"...

Lock Jaw 08-18-2023 01:21 PM

I could google, yes... but.... I don't wanna

Helmsphere 08-18-2023 01:22 PM

Pretty sure it's the one with hair.

Lock Jaw 08-18-2023 01:50 PM

Damn, would have put money on the bald one, he always seemed more "redneck"

DaveWadding 08-18-2023 02:35 PM

Dax = Scott Dawson = FTR Bald
Cash = Dash Wilder = FTR Hair

That's too bad

Lock Jaw 08-18-2023 02:40 PM

Seeing it that way, I guess that "Dash" is closer to "Cash" than it is to "Dax"

Dunno why my mind would go the other way with it

xrodmuc316 08-18-2023 02:49 PM

Oh man, guaranteed this makes Bald cry

Bad News Gertner 08-18-2023 05:43 PM

He's a shooter bro

xrodmuc316 08-18-2023 08:07 PM

For real though, they should make Double A be their manager. Then he could have just said Arn told him to pull the glock.

Sepholio 08-18-2023 09:18 PM

It's Florida, he's a conservative, he's claiming he "Stood his ground". So cliche.

Sepholio 08-18-2023 09:45 PM

TMZ says he was weaving in and out of traffic honking his horn, pulled up next to a guy and started waving his gun, then kinda cut him off and exited the interstate. Dude followed him, took pics of the car and license plate and then called the cops. Picked him out a lineup later on which lead to his arrest.

Also:


On July 27, 2023, at 0959 I, Officer M. Bowhay #19932, responded to (address redacted) in reference to an aggravated assault with a firearm call. Upon my arrival I spoke to the victim, (name redacted), who provided me with a sworn written/verbal statement that said the following: (The victim) stated he was driving west on Interstate 4 north of Exit 83. He noticed a Jeep Gladiator weaving in and out of traffic honking its horn, so he moved over to the far-right lane to let the Jeep pass.

(The victim) said the Jeep took the right shoulder to drive around him on the passenger side of his vehicle. (The victim) looked over and noticed a white male with a beard pointing a black semi-automatic handgun out of the driver’s window at him with a strong stare.

(The victim) said he feared for his life at this time. (The victim) stated he slowed down to get out of the way of the firearm and ended up behind the suspect vehicle at this time. At this time both were committed to exit 83 (Ivanhoe Blvd). (The victim) took pictures of the Jeep as it turned right onto College Park Drive and began to drive reckless. (The victim) said the Jeep beared Florida tag EFRC72. After taking the picture, (The victim) said he called 911 and gave the vehicle information to dispatch the details of what occurred. He explained he could not be late for work and asked an officer to meet him at his work (name of business and address redacted).

I created a photo line-up using ELVIS (a database used by law enforcement for investigative purposes). Elvis selected five random photos based on the suspect’s Florida driver’s license picture and put them in a randomized order with the suspect being the sixth picture. Officer Blinn #34211 met with (The victim) and presented him with the photo lineup instructions and the photo lineup. (The victim) quickly selected the correct picture, photo #2, of the suspect, later identified as, Daniel M. Wheeler, W/M D.O.B 5/17/1987 with 100% certainty. (See Officer Blinn’s supplement for more details.) Based on (The victim’s) sworn statement and the positive photo lineup identification, probable cause exist to charge Wheeler with, aggravated assault with a firearm violation of F.S.S. 784.021(1)(A)-1.

Meltzer planted this. Nothing to see here.

Sting Fan 08-19-2023 01:02 AM

Man... Punks gonna be real upset when the Bucks go over at Wembley.

Sepholio 08-19-2023 04:49 AM

I don't know, I still think it's highly likely that UK may not let Cash in the country and leave them scrambling to replace the match on the card.

Sepholio 08-19-2023 04:51 AM

Too bad Mark Briscoe is hurt. Would have him replace Cash. Could call him and Dax "Bald Boyz" and have them come out to a modified COPS theme.

This is how crazy working for AEW drives you.

Bad News Gertner 08-19-2023 07:39 AM

That's what happens when the CEO is more focused on being in funny videos on the show than taking control of the locker room

Mr. Nerfect 08-19-2023 09:55 AM

The accuser probably works in AEW and is a stooge for The Bucks. It’s just that AEW is so bad at booking no one knows who he is.

A real owner would have suspended the man in question and changed the match to a 2 on 1 handicap match...

Helmsphere 08-19-2023 01:51 PM

Man, I sometimes wonder how Tony would have handled Enzo Amore

Mr. Nerfect 08-19-2023 05:30 PM

Imagine if Nailz had worked for Tony Khan…

Sting Fan 08-19-2023 06:12 PM

My toast was cold this morning as well, thanks Tony!!!

Mr. Nerfect 08-19-2023 07:53 PM

You joke, but Tony is responsible for lots of cold products.

Can you imagine the shit that would come out of Enzo's mouth with him knowing the boss would let him get away with pretty much anything. Would be incredible!

Sepholio 08-20-2023 03:35 AM

If you don't pull the strap on a buster then you're S-A-W-F-T SAAAAWWWWFFFFTTTT

Fignuts 08-20-2023 11:01 AM

He wouldn’t have been sexually assaulted by a Genetic Jackhammer?

I call the bald one “Bitey”

Mr. Nerfect 08-20-2023 07:59 PM

If Cash is innocent (or it’s at least explainable somehow), this could turn into a pretty powerful story between him and Dax down the line.

Sepholio 08-20-2023 09:48 PM

I look forward to whatever explanation they cook up for how speeding and weaving erratically through traffic while waving a pistol isn't his fault.

Mr. Nerfect 08-21-2023 05:23 PM

AEW wrestlers like to do whatever they accuse someone else of first. See: Page, Adam; Bucks, Young. Cash just needs someone else to do that and then he can say he did it initially as protest.

thekrow 08-25-2023 01:20 PM

I guess they can wheel him out of here
